Summary
Miquella scans the miscellany of curatives, preservatives, and blood-filled vials around the room (eyes darting quickly past the mirror… he really ought to get rid of it). The bandages, the boluses, the unguents. None do anything for his sister’s pain, or address its root cause.
When he feels lost, it’s easy to become swallowed up by the enormity of it all. But the weight of the blade in his hand keeps him grounded. That familiar urge.
(or: before he waters the Haligtree with his blood, before he throws away his body, Miquella begins bloodletting for reasons he can't quite allow himself to think about.)

Summary
“Oh, Miquella.” She touches him, takes his cheek in her small hand and strokes him, thumbing over his cheekbone from nose to ear, slowly, as if she might commit his shape to memory. “You have lost… so much.”
“Not quite enough to become a God,” he counters. “Yet.”
He means it as reassurance. He means to say, I have lost nothing more than what I had to lose. What I set out to lose, for a greater purpose. And that is good. I am doing good for the world.
But she is not reassured. She sighs, and it is not her sweet, familiar sigh but something so heavy that he is surprised not to see it take physical form and thud down between them.
“But enough so you cannot go back.”
At that he laughs, and it comes out too brittle—or is it too hard?—to be amusement. “I do not wish to go back.”

Summary
"There is something I must return to Malenia. The will that was once her own. The dignity, the sense of self, that allowed her to resist the call of the scarlet rot."
Sorrowful at Millicent's passing, a rather wise Tarnished makes an attempt to fulfil his protégée's last wish.
[Functionally complete; presently in an epilogue in the Realm of Shadow]

Summary
Wyll’s leaned up against the farm fence in the distance, watching Astarion flutter and flirt. His mouth is a thin line.
“We’ll give lust a try,” Dorothea says blandly. “Let’s see what you do with it.”
(Or: Astarion seduces the Dark Urge. Wyll watches with increasing concern.)
